Fuller’s Earth: Usage, For Skin, Benefits, and Safety

After taking a walk round and inspecting the bags of the earth which are being prepared for export, we depart, well pleased with the visit we have been enabled to pay to this most interesting concern, which may justly claim to be the most important industry in the neighbourhood. One of the most gratifying facts in connection with both concerns is the good opinion entertained by the proprietors of their employees. In the words of Mr. Milne, “They are a good lot of workmen. Everyman is interchangeable, so that if there is nothing for them to do in one direction they are employed in another.” The wages paid are also good, being much in advance of those received by the ordinary labouring man. As may be naturally expected, the introduction of such works into the neighbourhood has been strongly deprecated by a section of the population, whose sentimental regard for the beauty of the neighbourhood, and their desire to retain that beauty intact, has outweighed their public spiritedness; but there can be no doubt that the existence of such extensive works in the vicinity, affording remunerative employment for a large number of hands, is for the public good. While it is true that the buildings erected have somewhat marred the beauty of parts of the village, it is also true that many homes have been brightened by reason of the circulation of more money in the neighbourhood, which, but for the existence of these buildings, would never have been the case. In taking farewell of the works, which have been so inadequately described, we are sure our readers will join with us in wishing all those concerned in the undertakings every success, and if at all times things do not turn out as desired we would remind them of the immortal words of Addison, that – ‘Tis not in the mortals to command success, but we’ll do more, Sempronius, we’ll deserve it.” Salus populi suprema est lex*Multani mitti is known as fuller’s earth in English for its historic use by textile workers known as “fullers.”

Despite a high-profile campaign by the firm to win support locally, producing facts and figures and marketing campaigns, with suggestions of screening of the works with new trees, working where the mineral was shallowest first, and using the overburden to alleviate noise etc; many villagers thought the prospect of such a huge opencast mine visible from most of northern Woburn was too much to bear, and “The Campaign to Protect Woburn and District from Open-cast Mining” fought the application. The main arguments were over the closure of local roads, mitigation of works, the increase in traffic for transporting the material, the hours of working and restoration of the heath after the mineral was extracted. The Campaign produced a 16-point list that local residents could write to the Principle Planning Officer at Bedfordshire County Council to object with.
